Special legislation in the interest of laboring
men was in order at Albany yesterday. Pop
ular opinion will approve the extension of time
granted by tho Senate to the Board of Arbitra-
don. The official arbitrator have not accom-
plished much since they were appointed, but
the fault is mainly the Governors, since he
made the nominations principally for political
effect. In the Assembly, the bill to make
street-car drivers take out a license was prop
ely killed, although the Democrats voted SOL
Idly for it.
Possibly some people. artists among them,
may think that Munkacsys picture of "Christ
Before PLATE" has been sold for more than it
Is worth. The price to Mr.. Wanamakcr, of
Philadelphia, Is said to have been more than
100000. That is a good deal of money to
put into single canvas. Mr.. Stewart only
paid 100000 for "1sO7." Still the value of
an art-object, practically, is what it is worth
to the buyer, and the price Of Munkacsy's large
canvas will at least strengthen the impression
In artistic circles that Newton is a fairly good
market for pictures. But cheap or dear it is
shocking that picture on subject like this
should be used to draw custom to a big dry
goods store.
The Reformed Episcopal Church in America
win not be greatly pleased by the news from
London Of Bishop Potter's declaration against
the validity Of the orders conferred by Bishop
Cummins after he resigned from the Protestant
Episcopal Church. Some Of tho clcrgymcn so
ordained, it seems, returned to England aud
claimed to DO properly authorized to perform
tho offices Of the Church. Of course, that was
embarrassing TO tho Anglican Church Il; but it
has generally been supposed here by Episco-
palians that Bishop Cummins never was, and
never could be, deprived of Apostolic author
lty by merely resigning from the Protestant
Episcopal Church; otherwise, it has been
argued, Bishop in that denomination is no
more than the elective Bishops Of the Method
ist Church. A full report Of Bishop Pottcr's
I argument before the Cortyocation at Cantcr-
bury will DO awaited with interest by church
